Abstract

Forty genotypes of jack fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) from six states, namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Assam and Tripura from of North East India were subjected to genetic diversity analysis using RAPD and SSR markers. Results obtained
from the RAPD markers revealed that all the genotypes screened were closely related, i.e., 65 to 100% similar whereas 86 to 100%. The
majority of the genotypes were observed similar to each other, indicating that the parental lines may have common parentage and
hence showed adaptability to similar growing environmental conditions of the country’s northeastern region.
